The Alberta Micro-Generation Regulation allows customers to connect solar to the electricity grid. This eliminates the need for batteries

Solar Panels

Solar panels are mounted on a roof or a freestanding mount to make up a solar array. These solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells (PV), which convert the suns rays into direct current power (DC). The size of the array depends on the amount of power to be produced.

Inverter

The DC power from the solar array is sent to an inverter, where it is converted into alternating current power (AC), the same as household electrical current in your home.

Electrical Panel

The AC power flows through the home's existing electrical panel and is used just like power flowing from the utility grid.

Utility Meter

The home utility meter is changed to a "two way" meter so when the solar array produces more power than the home is using, the meter spins backwards and accumulates credits with the utility company to be used at a later date. This concept is called net-metering and is the most cost efficient method used for solar production.

Utility Grid

The home continues to be connected to the utility grid to supply power when the solar array is not producing. Also, the utility becomes the home's battery, storing power in the form of credits to be used during not sunlight hours.

alberta SOLAR PROGRAMS

Alberta has a more complex energy industry than other Western Canadian provinces. Multiple companies offer a variety of solar connection options. The list of service providers below coupled with the grants & incentives offered by a variety of institutions, provides customers with options. Let us walk you through the process.

what does SOLAR do for me?

A financed solar system can offer savings from the day it is installed. The monthly loan payment could be less than the old power bill. These monthly savings continue to rise as power rates continue to increase year over year.

Not paying for power is not an option. Since you are paying for it anyways you might as well have an asset to show for it. Once the system is paid off you are power bill free.

SaskPower has increased power rates an average of 6% per year for the past 20 years. With a new carbon tax and aging infrastructure looming will this continue to rise? Going solar allows you to isolate yourself from any future power increases.

If you like the latest and greatest you will enjoy monitoring your energy consumption. Be the first on your block to adopt this cutting edge technology.

The average solar system saves 2,500 trees, or the same as driving 450,000 km. You have the ability to contribute to a changing world for future generations while saving money.

LETS GET STARTED
